0 wins and 3 losses, 3 wins and 0 losses! The NBA league has been delayed to announce, which is related to the ownership of the G7 championship!

The final match of the NBA championship in the 2024-25 season will be held at 8:00 am on June 23 at the Thunder home payment center stadium. Compared with the first few games of the series (8:30), half an hour is in advance. Friends who have time to watch the live broadcast need to adjust their alarm clocks. For both sides, no matter who wins the championship, they will make history. If the Thunder wins the championship, they will win the first NBA championship trophy in team history; if the Pacers win, they will become the most civilian championship team in NBA history. Before the battle for life and death in the tiebreak begins, we will inevitably refer to some past data to analyze who can have the advantage!

The previous 19 finals tiebreaks, the home team won 15 wins and 4 losses, and the teams that fell behind 2-3 in the past three times won the championship! The tiebreak between the Thunder and the Pacers will be the 20th Finals tiebreak in NBA history. The most recent game was the 20th Cavaliers' Battle in 2016. At that time, the Warriors created the best regular season record in NBA history, with 73 wins and 9 losses, but in the finals, they were reversed by the Cavaliers and lost the championship with a 3-1 lead. According to statistics, the home team won 15 wins and 4 losses in the previous 19 finals, with a winning rate of 78.9%. This is bad news for the Pacers, but what is interesting is that in the last three finals, the teams that lost the Battle of Tianwang Mountain finally won the championship (2010 Lakers, 2013 Heat, and 2016 Cavaliers). In this regard, the Pacers are the ones who have hope of winning!

19.4 to 2.1, the Pacers' offensive stability is far better than that of the Thunder!

The last six games of the finals, both sides won three games and lost three games! In the three games he won, the Thunder scored as high as 120.4 points per 100 rounds, and the data of the three games he lost was only 101 points, with the difference reaching 19.4 points. When we came to the Pacers, we won three games and scored 110.6 points per 100 rounds, and lost three games with 108.5 points, with a difference of only 2.1 points, and the offensive stability is far better than the Thunder. But from another perspective, the Thunder's defensive stability is much better than that of the Pacers. The former relies more on the dual-core drive of Alexander and Jay Levitra. If they play smoothly, other role players can get better shooting opportunities. The Pacers are an egalitarian team. In the finals, none of them averaged more than 20 points per game, but 8 of them averaged double-digit points per game! The league has been delayed in announcing the referee group that is the top priority!

With the Thunder game, it is always impossible to avoid being discussed by fans. Many times the free throw problem exceeds the game itself, and the situation in the finals has not improved at all! But is this really the case? Let's take a look at the free throw data. In the last 6 games of the finals, the Thunder netted the Pacers 35 points (154-119) at the free throw line, but let's take a look at the Pacers' free throw rate. In the 21 playoff games that have been played this season, the Pacers have 17 free throws at the disadvantage, which is more due to defensive problems. During the playoffs, the Pacers gave their opponents 33.6 free throws per 100 shots, which is the highest opponent's free throw rate among teams that have broken through the first round of the playoffs in the past 10 years. Among the 96 players who played ≥150 minutes in the playoffs, Bryant (5.4 times per 36 minutes), Nesmith (5.2 times) and Ben Shepard (4.7 times) ranked first, second and fifth in the league respectively. In addition, Alexander is a player who has committed fouls for 1, 1 in the league today, so the free throw issue really cannot be simply blamed on the referee!

came to the core player Alexander. In the last 6 games of the finals, there was a winning law. When Alexander's free throws were higher than 10 times, the Thunder won 3 wins and 0 losses (12 free throws in G2, 10 free throws in G4, and 14 free throws in G5), and when the number of free throws was less than 10, the Thunder won 0 wins and 3 losses (8 free throws in G1, 6 free throws in G3, and 8 free throws in G6), for Alexander himself, his playing style is very dependent on the referee's judgment standard. If the referee has a strict standard, he will get enough free throw opportunities. If the referee encourages confrontation, it will be difficult for him to get too many free throw opportunities. For the Thunder, whether he can get enough free throw opportunities will directly determine the team's overall offensive level. This is also an aspect that the league needs to focus on before the start of the G7. Which three players to choose as the tie-even referee group has become the top priority. As of press time, there are only 14 hours left before the tie-even start. According to the past, the referee group will announce it 24 hours in advance! The referee group at the tiebreak has not yet been announced because the league also knows that this is related to the title and cannot be careless!

The finals have reached this level, so I can only hope that the league will not participate too much and let the players decide on the court. After all, tiebreakers in the finals are not very common. Fans think of a purer competitive sports confrontation, so the final question is, which referees do you think the league will allow the G7? Welcome to leave a message for prediction!
